COOL HANDMADE CRAP

in my earholes

  • tenacious d -

    tenacious d: tenacious d
    one of my all time favorite albums, and the reason that i find jack black one of the sexiest men alive. "keilbasa" alone is reason enough to spend the money for the CD.

  • jamiroquai -

    jamiroquai: a funk odyssey
    i love this album - i resurrect this cd about once a month and play it for at least a week straight on my car stereo. i'm currently knee deep in jay kay.

  • AC/DC -

    AC/DC: Back in Black
    possibly one of the best rock albums ever. as long as i live, this will be one of my top 5 favorites. can't get enough of it.

  • Beck -

    Beck: Guero
    i'm still listening to this, for months now. i'm somewhat obsessed with it and can't stop listening to it. i'm not at all inclined to stop listening to it...

  • led zepplin -

    led zepplin: IV
    what needs to be said about led zepplin IV? best. makeout. album. ever.

  • Foo Fighters -

    Foo Fighters: In Your Honor
    One of my all-time favorite albums by one of my all-time favorite bands and one of my all-time favorite vocalists. Dave Grohl is one of the sexiest men alive and his voice just... does things... to me.

  • Radiohead -

    Radiohead: The Bends
    Thom Yorke's voice just does it for me, y'all.

my first gallery show

my first gallery show opened last night at the gorgeous musèe d'chartreuse in austin, and it was a huge success!

more than 300 guests perused the gallery last night. champagne flowed freely. the h'ors doeuvres were fabulous. the austin american statesman and the austin chronicle both raved about the opening, and both were very gracious with their praises using descriptors like "edgy", "minimalist", "clean" and "graceful".

the show, "eyecandy superlux: photographic imagery by melissa mcgee" will be open until february 4, 2007.  if you're in austin and would like to come to the gallery to view my work, the gallery is located at the corner of guadalupe & nowhere st.


...just kidding! it's a nice idea, though maybe a tad lofty. the images above were created using a really cool application found here. now anybody can have a big opening night!

have fun!

there's a fetish for that???

on new year's day morning, i was on the phone with my best friend corey. we were having one of our marathon phone calls. he's in atlanta and i'm in texas, so we don't see each other much. in fact, new year's day this year was exactly one year since we've seen each other.

i told corey i needed to blow my nose and asked hi if i should tape it on the webcam and send it to him. not surprisingly, he said "sure!". he knows i blow my nose like a rhino. always have.

i quickly got set up with the tissues and the webcam and turned on my phone's speaker, then i hit "record".

i posted it to youtube so he could view it, and he loved it.

then the strangest thing happened...

the freaks started coming out of the woodwork.

the video recieved daily honors for 5 days straight, today being the first day it hasn't been "honored" in one way or another. the comments are relatively mild, but the messages i have been recieving are mind bogglingly disturbing.

here's a sampling of some of the messages i've recieved:

"i love how you blow your nose like that! it always turns me on to see a female honking her nose."

"are you blowing yellow snot out of your nose?"

"None of my ex-girlfriends could blow their nose like this!!!!! I try and explain how I like it, but they don't get it, and I'm always let down. I'm going to start showing girls this vid from now on!!!!! This is the way a woman should blow her nose! This is SEXXXXXY!"

"omg that is the sexiest thing ever. i know maybe it's wierd [sic] but it totally turns me on."

"I really wish you had showed us what was on the kleenix [sic]. That nose blow was so hot!"

"A good nose blowing... there is nothing more sexier [sic] than that. AWESOME VID!"

what? are you people kidding with this? NOSE BLOWING turns people on? WHAT PEOPLE? why?

why? why? why? eww!

the video? well, sure i'll show you. if it turns you on, please just do me a favor and don't tell me about it...

demon spawn & blackened chicken

in my previous post, i submitted a photo of my neice, the princess grace; my friend matt was sure i'd shopped it - i swear it on all that is holy that i have not altered it in ANY way. something went wonky when megen snapped the photo, apparently, resulting in the most FRIGHTENING photo of a child i've ever seen... and unfortunately, it's my neice.

okay. is it wrong to be a little scared of a photo of your 9 month old neice?

on a lighter note, yet still a little disturbing:

my mom invited the whole family over for dinner for our ritual sunday eat-till-you-can't-feel-your-legs-or-see-your-feet dinner. my mom, being a culinary genius and extremely adventurous with food, decided to try her hand at "beer-can chicken" today, out on the gas grill; she decided to use a can of jumex mango-papaya juice instead of beer to flavor the chicken. it was on the grill for TEN MINUTES when my dad went out to check the chicken, only to find a flaming ball of previously-poultry standing upright on the grill:

Burnt_chicken

if you look closely, you'll notice that the ends of the chicken legs have been BURNED OFF. the BONE was BURNED OFF. this has got to be the funniest thing i've ever seen. my poor mom was mortified, but she couldn't help laughing at how she torched this poor bird. my dad kept saying things like "just peel the charred part off and send it home with lissa", because he either a) feels sorry for me and thinks i'm poor and can't afford my own non-charcoal chicken, or b) it was an experiment in terror and my dad wants to kill me.

at any rate, we didn't partake of the burnt offering, but we did have a brisket that my mom had smoked, and it was so good, i would swear that it was ambrosia from the gods.

about the chicken: somewhere there's a cat crawling through the trashcan outside my parent's house saying "no freakin' way."
